- The Post-Jobs, Post-Cook Era Begins: What John Ternus Must Prove in His Debut Call
Apple shares trade at $347.10, near their 52-week high of $351.73, and are up 28.03% year to date versus 12.87% for the S&P 500. John Ternus leads his first earnings call as CEO after Tim Cook called the fiscal third-quarter report his final earnings call. Revenue rose 16.4% to $109.42 billion and EPS of $2.02 beat the $1.89 consensus, extending a run of nine straight EPS beats. Gross margin guidance of 47%-48% compares with 50.1% last quarter and still leans on a tariff-refund benefit of about one percentage point, while the stock trades at 40 times trailing earnings and above the $329.25 consensus target. The article says the key questions are Ternus's margin plan once refunds fade and how Apple will monetize Siri AI.
- Apple (AAPL) vs. MSFT and GOOGL: Is the Post-Earnings Selloff Creating a Long-Term Buying Opportunity?
This article summarizes a bullish thesis on Apple (AAPL) by Natan Rose, published on Research Nuggets' Substack on Aug. 18, when AAPL has since gained 10.92%, reflecting optimism about a stronger iPhone upgrade cycle as early iPhone 18 Pro sales outpace last year's model. Apple reported record revenue of $109.42 billion, up 16%, with iPhone sales up 22% and EPS of $2.02, yet the stock fell 7.35% after earnings as guidance of 9%-11% growth came in below the 12% analysts had hoped for. The article attributes the slowdown mainly to memory chip supply, as DRAM and NAND are increasingly directed to AI data centers, rather than to weaker demand. Risks cited include slower growth with a valuation near 35 times earnings, a CEO transition to John Ternus, and regulatory pressure on App Store fees.

- Neocloud stocks could face a house-of-cards collapse
In the Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen argues that neocloud firms, including CoreWeave, Nebius and Iron, face a possible house-of-cards collapse. Their shares have fallen around 30–35% over the past couple of weeks, and they depend on cheap borrowed capital to buy GPUs and build data centers, while insurers reportedly back debt they also lend against. The host cites Amazon saying some GPUs sit idle because it cannot secure enough power or grid access, with losses of 1–5 million USD a day, and notes that delayed data center deliveries may owe 1–5 million USD per day. He says the views of Ken Griffin, Elon Musk and Chamath have some justification, and describes a circular financing loop forming.
- Aptos Advisor Leaves Post, Moves Meme-Fueled Campaign to Meta Stock
Buzz, the memer who promoted the Aptos token, says he left his advisor role after his one-year contract ended and has sold his APT. APT has fallen 10.7% since the start of the month to a 607 million USD market cap. He is now targeting Meta, arguing retail investors have been forgotten and the company has strong fundamentals. Meta's market cap of about 1.59 trillion USD is 2,619 times that of Aptos, and its shares fell 1.2% on the day his campaign began, which makes moving the price a real challenge. The article compares this with Roaring Kitty's GameStop rally, when GME had an 11.85 billion USD market cap, and says Buzz's challenge is 134 times larger.

- Wall Street's Fast Money Fled Bitcoin ETFs, Sovereign Funds Stepped In
Galaxy Research says a handful of hedge funds and banks drove almost all institutional selling of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, while wealth platforms and sovereign funds bought. Holdings reported by institutions in 13F filings fell 14%, from 355,000 BTC at the end of September 2025 to 307,000 BTC by June 2026. Nine firms, including Millennium Management, Goldman Sachs and Tudor Investment, cut 68,000 BTC, roughly $5.4 billion at current prices, while Morgan Stanley's wealth management arm, Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council were among the buyers. Galaxy says the sellers were mainly running cash-and-carry trades rather than betting on Bitcoin, as the front-month futures basis averaged 4.8% annualized in the 30 days to Oct. 21, just 0.6 points above Treasury bills, down from 7.9% before the all-time high. Since the June low, the funds have added 87,000 BTC, which Galaxy calls directional buying.
